I'm writing a word guessing game and I have a few variables to select the targetted word from an array of words. But I'm also trying to implement theme choosing for the game as well. However, when I click on the theme selector button, it doesn't seem to be updating the targetted word at all. Please have a look at my code and help if you are able to!
/**
* This array will contain the words that will be used as answer the of game.
* The words will be coming from runGame function when user select theme of the game.
*/
let targetWords = []
/**
* This array will take on the one word from the tagetWords array so the user can guess.
* This should change with the theme
*/
const targetWord = runGame()
/**
* Logic for the game to select which theme the target word needs to be
*/
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function () {
let buttons = document.getElementsByTagName('button');
for (let button of buttons) {
button.addEventListener('click', function () {
let gameTheme = this.getAttribute('data-type');
runGame(gameTheme);
})
}
runGame();
})
/**
* Starts the game and select which targetWords list to use based on what the theme user selected.
*/
function runGame(gameTheme) {
// if the user select fruit theme, the target word will be from this array
if (gameTheme === "fruit") {
targetWords = ["acorn", "carob", "dates", "gourd", "grape", "lemon", "limes", "mango", "melon", "olive", "peach", "pears", "plums", "prune", "salak"];
}
// if the user select vegatable theme, the target word will be from this array
if (gameTheme === "vegetable") {
targetWords = ["azuki", "basil", "beans", "caper", "chard", "dulse", "enoki", "grain", "groat", "maize", "morel", "pinto", "ramps", "thyme", "wheat"];
}
console.log(targetWords)
const chosenWord = targetWords[Math.floor(Math.random() * 15)];
return chosenWord;
/**
* Starts the app and let user able to click or press key to enter their guess.
*/
function startGame() {
document.addEventListener("click", handleMouseClick);
document.addEventListener("keydown", handleKeyPress);
runGame();

</html>The blank targetWords array should take on either "fruit" words or "vegetable" words depending on which theme the user selected. But at the moment its not doing that
